25 MORE Karaoke Songs for BAD Singers!

You asked for it, and I couldn't help but oblige!
I learned that there are an AWFUL lot of ya that don't think you have what it takes, but want to try karaoke night, anyway.

GOOD FOR YOU! Nobody should feel like they shouldn't sing just because they don't have major skills like Mariah.

Buuuut. 

Should you *want* to get better and choose more challenging songs in the future, I am here to coach you.

Note that I put in mostly up-tempo (faster) songs. My first voice teacher told me it's better to do faster songs to disguise nerves, and I agree. 

So without further ado....... here are 25 MORE excellent karaoke songs for BAD singers! 

1) Every Morning- Sugar Ray
Look, the lead singer of this group had a 2 note range. You can do this song,too.

2) Hey Ya!- Outkast
There's not much to this one, is there? But it's fun, and a total earworm!

3) The Bitch is Back- Elton John
One of Elton's most fun, for sure..and also not hard to sing at all. 

4) Night Moves- Bob Seger 
Bob may be a legend, but he really doesn't have pipes.

5) Positively 14th Street- Bob Dylan
Speaking of legendary Bobs without pipes!

6) Supermodel- RuPaul
Ru is a personality more than a singer. Use that knowledge to your advantage.

7) Shake it Off- Taylor Swift
Everyone knows this one. It's not about vocal prowess here, because the range is nonexistent, and it's pretty talk-y.

8) Need You Tonight- INXS
This one doesn't need anything special. Just some serious attitude and maybe a growl or two thrown in for good measure. 

9) Kiss Me Deadly- Lita Ford
Hey, I love rock queen Lita as much as anyone, but let's face it- this song's kinda yell-y.  It was MEANT for karaoke night, right???

10) Viva Las Vegas- Elvis Presley
If you're familiar with my content you know I am a massive fan of The King. That being said, this song doesn't need anyone to SOUND like Elvis for it to be effective....just needs some swagger (and fun and confidence!)

11) Who But the Bomp?- Barry Mann
A real oldie, but a silly goodie! A lot of you youngins may have never heard it.  Check it out if you wanna be retro!

12) Word Crimes- Weird Al Yankovic
One of my faves from Weird Al (and, if you ever get a chance to see him live, DO IT!)

13) Let's Get Loud- Jennifer Lopez
Just a party anthem, they are meant for bad singers!

14) Crazy Train- Ozzy Osbourne
Ozzy, another legend with minimal vocal skills.....but fascinating all the same! That describe you?

15) Can't Get You Out of My Head- Kylie Minogue
Kylie is without a doubt one of my favorite pop divas, but anyone can pull this song off!

16) Charlie Brown- The Coasters
A retro novelty song that all ages love to sing, and all ages love to hear......even if a "bad" singer does it!

17) Bad to the Bone- George Thorogood and the Destroyers
Iconic, and .....2 notes.

18) Cat Scratch Fever- Ted Nugent
Uncle Ted is a guitarist. NOT a singer.

19) Toxic- Britney Spears
Yup, she is on this list,too. For good reason.

20) Hot Hot Hot- Buster Poindexter
Is there really any singing in this?

21) Move it On Over- Hank Williams
Not hard to sing (no yodeling required!), but it's sure fun and a classic!

22) I am Woman- Helen Reddy
Helen had a voice on her, but this song is so iconic all you need to do is believe it when you sing it!

23) Our Lips Are Sealed- The Go-Gos
See a theme here? All you need it attitude.

24) The Heart of Rock n' Roll- Huey Lewis and the News
Is there a BAD song from Huey Lewis and the News? No way!
But you can be a BAD singer and still rock this song, promise!

25) All Night Long- Lionel Richie
Lionel has still got it going on (he was my first favorite pop singer!), but all you need to do is get the crowd singing along with this 80s classic. 

Like what you see? I hope you found a few to bring to karaoke night next time!

Even if you're a professional singer, remember that authenticity and confidence go a VERY long way...sometimes, even more than vocal skills!

Good luck, and have a blast! Schedule a lesson with me if you want any singing help!
